I have invented a new verb: To Barack

To Barack:  1. To screw up arrogantly while loudly proclaiming that your failure was a success.  2. Failing and blaming it on someone who came before you.  3.  Screwing up and blaming it on bad Karma or predestination or God.  4. Arrogantly screwing up while throwing other people under the bus because you cannot imagine how it could be your fault.  "I baracked up, he baracks all the time,  what a barack-up, you are going to barack, you big barack."  Adapted from the Swahili word for "Wildebeest's back side".

Don’t believe that Obama learned anything from his rebuffs in Copenhagen (on global warming and the Olympics). Charles Krauthammer nails it: “Whenever a president walks into a room with another head of state and he walks out empty-handed — he’s got a failure on his hands. And this was self-inflicted. With Obama it’s now becoming a ritual. It’s a combination of incompetence,  inexperience, and arrogance. He was handed a treaty by the Bush administration. It was done. But he wanted to improve on it. And instead, so far, he’s got nothing. … And this is a pattern with Obama. He thinks he can reinvent the world. With Iran, he decides he has a silver tongue, he’ll sweet-talk ’em into a deal. He gets humiliated over and over again. With the Russians he does a reset, he gives up missile defense, he gets nothing.”
